What does it mean to truly wait upon the Lord when your marriage feels impossible? Kate Robbins takes us on a raw, honest journey through decades of marriage marked by both beauty and profound struggle.

From their first meeting in Estes Park – where Michael's unexpected act of chivalry caught Kate's attention – to weathering multiple miscarriages, alcoholism, and near-fatal accidents, this conversation dives deep into how faith sustains us through life's most crushing disappointments. Kate's vulnerability in sharing how she once prayed to be released from her marriage, only to receive divine guidance to stay, offers a powerful testimony to God's mysterious ways.

"Just because a marriage is hard doesn't mean it's wrong," Kate shares, offering wisdom gained through years of both personal experience and professional counseling work. Her story illuminates the difference between enduring abusive relationships (which she explicitly warns against) versus navigating the legitimate difficulties that arise when two imperfect people commit to becoming one.

For anyone questioning God's presence in their struggles or wondering if their difficult marriage has purpose, Kate's journey offers both comfort and challenge. Her testimony reminds us that sometimes the greatest acts of faith involve simply waiting – trusting that the God who promises we'll "mount up with wings as eagles" is working behind the scenes in ways we cannot yet see.
